Before we plunge in…Great teachers make the difference!
Training technology is a means to the end. Let’s keep the focus on the learner.

MOOCsMassive Open Online Courses
Began in 2011 with Stanford’s Sebastian Thrun offering Intro to AI. Enrollment grew to 160,000.
Four main providers: Coursera, edX, Udacity, FutureLearn.

LMS Selection Process
Ask for a structured demo—one that handles your specific test cases.
Requirements fall into three categories: functional, technical, and cost.
• Functional--what the system must be able to do from a learning management perspective.
• Technical--how the system must fit into the broader IT enterprise infrastructure.
• Cost--how the system matches up with your organization’s budget considerations, constraints, and expectations.

VILT – Virtual Instructor Led Training
A real conversation with a GoToTraining rep:
Andy: Can the instructor see what each student is doing on their screen, without turning control over to each student?
Saul: The screen sharing is only one person at a time.
Andy: So, does everyone have to see the student's screen—the one the instructor is seeing?
Saul: Yes, that is correct everyone would see the student’s screen.
QuestDirect.org
VILT—Overview Instructor-led, utilizing our ‘virtual classroom’1/2 day format: 4 hours/day (10 am - 2 pm ET)Dual monitors: Instructor's screen on one and your
classroom session on the other, side by side. Audio: You still have the same interaction with the
instructor as well as the other students.On-line 'mood indicators’--raise your hand, or request
the instructor to slow down, or indicate “ready to move on”.
Visibility of the entire class: The instructor can see all of the students' monitors, and can easily drill down to take control of any student's monitor to demonstrate a concept or help the student troubleshoot a problem.
QuestDirect.org
Dynamic Messages are created easily and can be waiting each morning as the students login to the virtual environment.
QuestDirect.org
As the instructor is leading the class in an exercise, note the public chat window and list of participants along the side. The students view the instructor’s monitor on a second monitor, making it easy to follow along with their own session.
QuestDirect.org
A view of the student’s monitors. Often from the comfort of their homes, the students work with side by side monitors so they can see what the instructor is doing on one while they follow the keystrokes on their own.
QuestDirect.org
Mood Indicators. Without using audio, the instructor can ask the class a question and they can respond with a mood indicator. In this case, “Is everyone finished? If you’re good to go, give me a thumbs up!”
QuestDirect.org
‘Thumbnails’ give the instructor visibility to all the student monitors. The instructor has several control options in order to increase the size of a particular thumbnail.
QuestDirect.org
Instructor Control Options: While focused on a student’s ‘thumbnail’, the instructor can “View Live” which increases the thumbnail to full screen. Or they can take control of the student’s machine and even demo a student’s machine to the rest of the class. No more playing solitaire during class time, or checking your email!!
QuestDirect.org
Private chats: In addition to public chats which are visible to all, private chats can take place between the instructor and student.
QuestDirect.org
Time for a break! A timer can be set counting down the minutes until class resumes.

• “Different from classroom training, but overall very effective. Actually I prefer this. I didn’t get ’burned out’ trying to absorb 8 hours of information.”
• “The virtual class setting is perfect for my training needs. The half day sessions allow me to still meet the needs of our users. This is important for us since I am a one man shop.”
• “The remote 1/2 day format worked very well for me. Between budget cutbacks and reduced staff, traveling for training is ‘virtually’ impossible.”
• “I prefer the online experience. When it’s a whole day my mind is spinning by the end of the day. While a half day gives you the opportunity to digest what you just went over before moving onto new material.”
• “Penny is a very thorough instructor. Always asking if we had questions, or going into the private chat to discuss individually. She sometimes showed us other problems people were having so we could benefit from mistakes.”

Mobile LearningKey drivers of mobile learning:
more employees expected to be hiredemployee learning time is at a premiumtraining facilities are stretched
Good candidates for mobile learning:forced periods of being idle—such as pharma repsroad warriorsonsite service reps
Good topics for mobile learning:soft skills—sales, compliance, leadershipWhat about hard skills? Product knowledge, software knowledge?
Technical considerations:Must ‘fit’ on multiple devices/multiple screen sizesBostonGlobe.com – Adaptive/Responsive Design – content adapts to

Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS)
Commonly confused with Learning Management Systems (LMS), Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS),
course authoring tools, eLearning tools, user assistance tools, screen capture tools, simulation tools, etc.
“A system that provides electronic task guidance and support to the user at the moment of need.”

Key EPSS Features• Capture any application• Quickly develop and deploy Electronic Performance Support content using an
easy to learn authoring interface.• Single-source/Multiple Output – to speed content creation and facilitate content
maintenance• One-click publishing into multiple formats (business process & procedures,
screen flows, job aids, test scripts, simulations) and file types (HTML, PDF, PPT, and Word)
• Includes content management functionality such as versioning, review/approval workflow, collaboration, search, and monitoring & reporting
• Deliver web-based performance support and context-sensitive help directly from JDE and other end user applications
QuestDirect.org
EPS Evaluation Criteria
A good EPS system scores high on all three of these basic criteria:1. End user access to Performance Support must be real-time, context
sensitive, no more than 2 clicks2. Content creation must be easy and fast - 80-90% faster than
traditional tools3. Includes tracking, monitoring and reporting - necessary for
maintenance and sustainability
Other considerations:• Solution Cost• Total Cost of Ownership • Risk• Usability• Scalability• Project Adoption and Collaboration
